6:06 am

doseffing

state college? is that what u call it? here is community college... u get a diploma...but not a degree... university u get a degree

7:50 am

Scrabbler

There are colleges and universities but we say "going to college" or "getting a college degree."

7:50 am

MollyL

The difference between a college and a university is that a college just offers a collection of degrees in one specific area, while a university is a collection of colleges.

7:51 am

go it ty

11:47 am

Nef

good clue Molly (and my age is showing again!)

11:48 am

MollyL

Ms. Braxton is a better clue, but I'm never sure how popular she is/was

11:50 am

Nef

you gave the better clue (for me anyway. I don't remember * Braxton)

11:51 am

MollyL

She had a short rise to popularity. "Unbreak My Heart" is probably her most memorable hit.

11:54 am

Nef

I was definitely not into music at that time of my life! Working full time nights with 2 pre-teens back then (I had to google her)

11:58 am

Nef

45 words left and can't see any more; need to go do some housework and will BBL. Happy Babbling, Everybody!

hi Sue

1:39 pm

hego

Just got back too.

1:39 pm

uusue2

hi, hego!

1:39 pm

uusue2

I am finishing my (late) lunch.

1:40 pm

hego

Enjoy!

1:40 pm

uusue2

ha, just noticed that I am over half way!

1:40 pm

hego

YAY!

1:50 pm

MollyL

Sue, wishing you happy memories of your Mom today.

1:51 pm

bichon

I just got back from visiting my Mom. It's so difficult when they are very old and very set in their ways.

1:52 pm

hego

Been there, done that Bichon

1:52 pm

hego

It is tough.

1:53 pm

bichon

She's 87 and lives in assisted living. She's on the highest care level. But, yet, she keeps falling and hurting herself. I want to get someone in her apartment to be with her all the time and she refuses.

1:54 pm

hego

Everyone I know has been through this

1:54 pm

MollyL

Aw Bich, I'm sorry you have those concerns about your Mom.

1:54 pm

hego

My brother in laws family finally just hired some one whether she approved or not.

1:55 pm

hego

And it's worked out very well.

1:55 pm

bichon

I hadn't been able to reach her for 3 days by phone. It turns out she fell and sprained her ankle. Nobody had called me

1:55 pm

hego

Very common.

1:56 pm

bichon

I feel as if I am a bad daughter because I keep badgering her

1:57 pm

hego

You're just concerned. No guilt, please.

1:57 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly! she does fade in my memory with time, but I wish she could have lived to see her grandchildren - she always wanted then.

1:57 pm

uusue2

*them

1:58 pm

hego

That's too bad Sue.

2:00 pm

uusue2

and bichon, it is really hard to take care of our parents! I have tried to get my dad to get one of those call buttons and he absolutely refuses. We have compromised on him keeping his cell phone on him (and charged) at all times.

2:00 pm

MollyL

That's not right Bich, you should have been informed about her injury.

2:01 pm

bichon

I agree and the staff has apologized, etc.

2:02 pm

hego

It's like little kids, tho. It's impossible to watch every minute.

2:03 pm

hego

But why they wouldn't call, I don't know.

2:03 pm

bichon

She also won't use her O2 regulary or wear her emergency call pendant

2:03 pm

Nef

hi again. Just came back in and had to read back in chog to see what you guys were talking about. My Mom died when I was 8 (she was 32); DH's Mom died 38 years ago when she was 52. That's one of the reasons his Aunty is so special to us: she's the closest thing our kids have to a Grandma

2:03 pm

hego

But the exact same thing happened to a friend of mine.

2:03 pm

bichon

I think it was slipped. They usually do call

2:03 pm

uusue2

will they move her to a higher level of care whether she wants it or not, if she is not able to care for herself well?

2:03 pm

hego

That's so sad Nef.

2:04 pm

hego

You have to do what you think is best Bichon.

2:04 pm

bichon

I think she's at the highest level of care. I can, and am willing to hire a full time attendant but she refuses.

2:04 pm

uusue2

ah, nef, your DH's mom and mine died close together and at similar ages (mine was 50). And to lose a mother at age 8 - that must have been really had.

2:05 pm

bichon

I do have power of attorney and can take her out of there and place her in a skilled nursing facility close to me.

2:05 pm

hego

Why don't you go ahead anyway Bichon.

2:05 pm

hego

She might find she likes the company.

2:06 pm

hego

Of a companion, that is.

2:06 pm

Nef

Sue, when DH was so bad last year; we couldn't afford one of those emergency call buttons; but I made a little sling for the cordless phone and that worked great: it was always on him until he was able to be back up and around and his balance was good. (He can't figure out how to use a cell phone at all).

2:06 pm

bichon

My mother doesn't like company and she fears having a stranger in her room because she fears someone will steall her valuables. There are no valuables

2:07 pm

hego

Very typical.

2:08 pm

Nef

bichon, what are the rules for assisted living in your state? We found that Aunty can't be in assisted living because of her diagnosis and disease progress.

2:08 pm

stanley bennion

tots

2:08 pm

MollyL

Bich, my Mom was like that about valuables. I think it's a generational thing.

2:08 pm

bichon

Mom has cancer and is receiving hospice care. But it's not all the time care.

2:09 pm

bichon

The aides help her with her daily are and check on her. Sometimes she barricaded the door

2:09 pm

uusue2

Frank's dad was the same way, bichon, and came to a not very nice end (had fallen and wasn't found for a couple of days; he survived but never made it out of the hospital)

2:09 pm

Nef

I don't care how old you are; the loss of a mother is bad at any age. It always leaves a hole in your heart . A nurse friend of mine's mother died at 104 years old and my friend was in her mid-80's. She totally agreed with me; saying that losing her dad wasn't near as bad as when her mother died

2:09 pm

bichon

2:10 pm

bichon

she fractured her humerus last April. They couldn't do surgery because of her heart and lungs so she was in a cast for 3 months. You would think she wouldn't want that to happen again

2:10 pm

blueskies29

bichon, this choice was something my mom struggled with..and to be honest..still does. She worried that my grandmother was upset with being placed in a care facility, that she was still mad at Mom when she passed, that maybe she would have been ok staying in her home,etc.

2:12 pm

hego

There's no logic to it Bichon

2:12 pm

bichon

My daughter is afraid to visit her because last time she spoke to her she threatened to call the police if she tried to move her.

2:12 pm

blueskies29

The truth is, as much as my grandma fought it, it allowed her extra time. Because I'm sure she would not have been able to live safely on her on any longer. And, from the outside looking in, worrying about her safety constantly was having a negative impact on mom's life..Grandma, had she been healthy, NEVER would have wanted to be a burdern or interfere with mom having a full life

2:12 pm

bichon

But, thank you all

2:13 pm

blueskies29

Grandma threatened me too.

2:13 pm

hego

yw Bichon

2:13 pm

Nef

sometimes you have to do what is best for the patient (speaking as nurse!) instead of what they want. It sounds like your Mom isn't safe anymore, bichon

2:13 pm

hego

Best of luck to you.

2:14 pm

Nef

(((bichon)))

2:14 pm

bichon

I love all of you

2:15 pm

hego

Awwwww... ty

2:16 pm

Nef

I need to get my hair done now; BBL. Just know that sometimes it's hard to go against your parents wishes; but it might keep them around longer if they don't break a hip.

2:17 pm

hego

parental power never fades

2:20 pm

hego

And finished. YAY!

2:21 pm

hego

Any clues before I leave?

2:22 pm

hego

Okay Bye for now. Poof!

3:10 pm

sadie52

Hello Everyone :)

3:15 pm

lbdawger

oh bichon, I just went through some of that stuff with my dad. It really is easier if the parents wants to move to a care facility, but if your mom isn't safe where she's at, she needs to have things done for her. Find a nice assistive living center and let her visit it.

3:15 pm

OK, this has been a REALLY sucky week (and it's only Tuesday!) One of my colleagues, a retired philosophy professor, died over the weekend (he's all of 4 years older than I am); another colleague's son is dying of cancer and will be coming home for the last time at the end of the week (he's about the same age as my son); another colleague's father just died (after a long illness); and the daughter of one of the secretaries just died very suddenly. None of these affect me directly, but they do add up.

5:01 pm

MollyL

Wow Sue, that is a lot at once. I'm very sorry these people who are in your circle have experienced such difficulty.

5:01 pm

uusue2

Also, it's the 39th anniversary of my mother's death.

5:02 pm

wildcat17

((((sue)))) that's a lot to handle at once, even if it doesn't all affect you directly

5:02 pm

uusue2

The last two (the father and the daughter) are both people in my department, too (the one with the son is in chemistry).

5:02 pm

wildcat17

are you doing anything special to mark your anniversary?

5:02 pm

MollyL

And it does affect you, because you care about these people.

5:03 pm

uusue2

no, it's been long enough that I just note it and go on, wild.

5:04 pm

MollyL

It's multiple hits of sad news that remind you to hug your loved ones extra tight and not take one thing for granted.

5:05 pm

uusue2

Indeed. There's a plan!

5:05 pm

crosshair

it can be hard indeed sue.death is hard and i have faced it many times.my own mother passed overseas from cancer and due to bullshit paperwork and govt rules on both sides of the pond,we did not know it till she had been in the ground already for 2 days she passed in 1991,20 years this month.all we can do is remember the person we loved and to speak of them with a smile and fondness or love in our hearts and in that way give them a bit of immortality((sue))

5:06 pm

uusue2

sorry for your loss, too, crossy! And it is awful when we don't find out right away.

5:07 pm

5:14 pm

uusue2

well, my dad taught me not to be afraid of my love of science, and how to print in all capital letters; my mom taught me how to write letters and how to read. Among other things.

5:16 pm

crosshair

and bit by bit,we pass along part of what we are to the next generation. one can just imagine what the sum of all of it may be 10 or 20 generations from now with our great 10x removed grandchildren...lol,crossy is blathering,time for a tea brb

5:25 pm

a unknown public school teacher taught me to read. i cannot really see her face in my mind,but just her hands,her body shape and hear her voice.the essence of her.i remember the patience,sounding out the words,going back over a line of text again and again,all with the same patience.then one day it just clicked,almost like i have trying to use an out of focus camera and she leaned over and gave the zoom lens the perfect adjustment.hehe was no stopping me then.i had my nose in a book non stop from the time i was 7 till..well till now as i still have my nose in books.i rember the first time i went to the centre of the earth on the end of jules vernes pen,the time i did not even sleep for 2 days as i was flung into outer space with issac azimov to keep me company.sailing on a raft in the deep south with mr clemmons. i do not know this teacher but she gave me the world:) yaa for sue and all our other teachers in babble;)

6:27 pm

6:30 pm

I don't know much about whiskey. Does it get better the older it gets, or should you stop at some point?

6:30 pm

crosshair

charred oak barrels,give then a 1/4 turn in the cradle once every 2 months or so

6:31 pm
